Dave Jones stated that
“I brought in alcoholics, gamblers”

“Sam Hammam wanted me to sign a player on £60,000 a week, when we could only afford £2000 a week”

“I never interviewed a player at the ground because the ground was shocking”

“We had to sell them the dream”

“The Early Bird season tickets were a bad idea and the fans kicked off and rightly so”

“I think I just fell out with the board”

“The board lied to me”

“Bellamy didn’t have that sort of power in the dressing room”

“It’s very unusual isn’t it to be sacked after just missing out on a promotion”

“If you knew the truth about Cardiff City from the start would you have accepted to job?”
“NO!!!”

He was a manager who was happy to fall out with the fans and media, but considering the restrictions Jones managed under, for me, he did a much better job than any other over the past 20 years.

He brought in excellent value and was constantly having to sell his best players. I don't think I've enjoyed watching us play since. I was hopeful this season would change that, but the circus continues.

Interesting comments regarding VT, claims Tan didn't know he Dave Jones had been sacked. Yet he's that involved he picks the team every week. Strange one also went on to say how lucky we are to have VT and saved the club from going bust and still pumping the money in to this day.

We were so hot and cold under DJ.

One minute Brazil like football smashing teams next losing six on the trot no goals.

As someone else said if he has half the money Malky had we would be an established prem team now I think.
